you're nowhere near it. I saw some restrictions around 1400 RWHP on a supra with 4" straight through....

Dyno tested open 24" long 4" downpipe vs full single 3.5" exhaust with straight through Magnaflow muffler and saw no difference at 950whp. Single PT88 5.3.

Mighty Mouse 3/ Flash's WS6 was above 1000 RWHP with 3.5" exhaust. Maybe one of them might chime in on details.
